The Hitman was found dead at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, after concerns were raised when didn’t show up at a boxing match and also missed a planned gym session.

There was a minute's applause at the Manchester derby as the former world champions face was shown on the giant screen.

He had been expected to watch his beloved Manchester City play their United rivals.

It remained unclear how Hatton - who grew up in a pub on the Hattersley council estate - died but police said there were no suspicious circumstances. Officers attended his home at 6.45am after a call from the public.

His former promoter Kellie Maloney said: “It a big loss for the boxing world - he’s gone but will really never be forgotten”

The former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion, who was awarded an MBE for services to sport in 2007, had often spoken of his struggles with mental health and drug addiction.

Stockport-born Hatton had missed meetings with his closest friends in recent weeks, leading to concerns for his welfare.

One source close to the star said: “He had not shown up for a couple of gatherings and had been very distant. He seemed a bit down and that led to his friends being worried about him”

As news of the fighter’s death broke, fellow ring star Tyson Fury simply said: “There will only be one Ricky Hatton”

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen added: “RIP Ricky Hatton. What a guy. And what a fighter. Incredibly sad news”

Radio 2 host Paddy McGuinness was shocked and upset as he shared the news with listeners.

He said: “Apologies everyone, just had to play a couple of songs back to back there. I've just learned this terrible news that... a great mate of mine has passed away - Ricky Hatton?

Paddy then took a long pause.
